Nice!

I wouldn't suggest using that map, though. It's not canon.

I prefer this one:

If you really want the expanded scope, then use this:

It's based off one of Tolkien's actual drawings.

Second map .. doesnt seem to have enough detail. Like everything south of Umbar looks just sketched very quickly

We can add some more details, but that's the general shape.

Here's the original sketch:

It does have some differences from the one above, but this sketch is First Age.

Here is another map according to MERP

And this appeared on our forums:

The second one is canon. I have no idea where maps like the first got started, they look terrible (oh god, the bordergore!) and aren't even right. Just make sure you don't put Numenor on it.

Actually, come to think of it, I'm currently working on a LOTR color scheme!

It's based off my own obscenely complicated one for OTL, using analogies to fit the colours.

 

[Linbot]

I'm assuming nobody's interested in this anymore? Even the thread poster?

 

[Cheer]

This seems cool but I know next to nothing about the deeper LoTR lore.

 

[SilverPhantom2]

I haven't done my yearly LotR read through. So I suppose I could volunteer a bit of my reading energy towards that. I do love me some Middle Earth.

 

[Tomislav Addai]

I ve been on vacation, so thats why I havent been here

 

[Al Smith For Real]

I feel... lonely.

I have a feeling you came with the sole purpose of bugging me. Regardless, you've succeeded.

Lebenin is WIP

You're doing the good Lord's work folkies.

For real? That's icing on the cake then!

I feel... lonely.

Why'd you feel the need for this?

 

[Tomislav Addai]

And so here comes something after a long while.

I will finish off Lebennin.

 

[Tomislav Addai]

Is anyone interested in collaboration?

 

[Geordie]

This is lovely. I've never made a map before, so don't think I'd be any help, but I'd like to offer likes and encouragement.
